Potential Yocto Project 1.3 Features
Yocto Project 1.3 - Target release = Oct. 2012
Yocto Project 1.3 Themes
The Yocto Project 1.3 Themes include:
- Continuity / Refresh:
- The usual keeping up to date with various upstream project, continue to work on the quality of the metadata and keeping up to date with bug fixing.
- Stabilization & Adoption:
- We've introduced a lot of changes. I think now may be a good time to catch our breath so to speak and ensure everything is complete, functional, well tested and has the right level of polish.
- We also need to encourage adoption of the project by OSV and Silicon Vendors and look at ways we can advance and integrate Shoeleather-type board labs (from semis and OSVs).
- Usability:
- Introduce WebHob?
- Continue improving error messages
- Reserve time to jump on usability issues as they come up
Areas to improve for 1.3 release
- SState improvements (file urls, overwriting files checks)
- Init system overhaul (optional systemd support?)
- Performance improvements (postinstall handling, rootfs generation speedups)
- Multilib bug fixes
- Complete multilib recipe enablement and automated sanity tests
- Bitbake test suite
- Build history web UI
- Autobuilder Improvements
